In 2007, four years after its launch, and all thanks to its dedicated players, Sryth became a full-time project.

Sryth is the way I currently make my living, but it has always been and always will be a labor of love. Words alone can’t express my appreciation for the dedication and support of all the generous and faithful players of Sryth, and I work hard to deliver content that meets their expectations.

Player dedication and support makes it all possible.

Without the dedication and support of its many players, Sryth would never never have reached its 16th year online. At last count, Sryth is comprised of more than 32,000 game sections and over 3.5 million written words. None of that would have been achieved without player support.

Because Sryth is my full-time endeavor, its financial backing is, out of necessity, high on the list of priorities.

Players support Sryth through a variety of ways in-game, including the purchase of account upgrades (which provide full access to the entire game), special packages (which include rewards and bonuses), and by donating to earn rewards.

By backing this Kickstarter campaign, you’ll be funding my ability to continue to create and develop Sryth while allowing me to focus less on the game’s financial side and much more on what I feel I do best – deliver fun and original content to Sryth’s brave adventurers!

There's a lot to be done, including the continuation and completion of story arcs, the addition of new locations, the creation of new adventures, and the introduction of new game features.

Your backing will also help meet operational, development, and equipment costs for Sryth, including a new and upgraded server (Sryth runs on its own dedicated server) and related network hosting and domain expenses.

I'm looking to take Sryth to the next level and need your help to get there.

The success of this Kickstarter campaign will help determine the continued viability of Sryth as a full-time endeavour.

In return for your much-appreciated support, you’ll receive a reward based on the level at which you back our campaign. The rewards are detailed in the Backer Rewards section below.

Thank you for considering backing our 2019 Kickstarter! Your support is very much appreciated.

Stretch Goals

If the funding for Sryth exceeds the target, we've identified some stretch goals that will help take us to the next level.

Here are our Stretch Goals for our 2019 campaign.

$40,000 - A new server for Sryth! The current server, reliable and robust as it is, could use an upgrade. A new server would be acquired, set up, and put into production, ensuring the fastest and most reliable gaming experience for our players.

$50,000 - An even more powerful new server for Sryth along with a backup server that would replicate the live server.

$60,000 - The server of all servers for Sryth, an upgraded backup server to replicate the live server, and a new/upgraded workstation/development environment for Sryth creation and development.
